I'm forever grateful that mine are -- despite what sometimes seemed like their (or my) best efforts -- are still in one piece.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that you at least got the Small Stuff worked out. By comparison it's trivial, but it's a win and you take those where you can get them.<br /><br />Here's hoping that 2010 is the best year yet for you and your family.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-53558659659199639682010-01-02T20:21:33.225+02:002010-01-02T20:21:33.225+02:00So true Robin.

In my Fix Your Own Computer class I learned that some of the most expensive and well known 'antivirus' programs miss more than they catch while they slow down our computers with increasingly intrusive but minimally useful functions. Of course with work computers you don't have so much choice. <br /><br />Sorry for your friend's loss. A friend of mine lost her son in a freeway accident last summer and it's still hard on the whole family ... especially his wife and unborn child. <br /><br />May the new decade bring you and yours joyful opportunities and experiences!<br />Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttp://sacredruminations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-90291684211368278732010-01-01T21:24:53.237+02:002010-01-01T21:24:53.237+02:00Happy New Year!
